Online Reactions Question TV Smashing as Effective Activism

A video posted on X shows a woman swinging a baseball bat at her television screen displaying Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli flag. Quoted replies called the act performative and suggested selling the TV to donate proceeds instead. Other users asked why the person did not simply change the channel. Additional comments noted that a replacement TV would require taxes or labor that could benefit Israeli interests and mentioned exploitation of raw materials from Congo. One reply joked that the action freed Palestine.
